i mean, look, i'm a huge supporter of obama's. it's the first president i ever donated money to. but i think in terms of climate change and the environment, he's been at best disappointing. i thought it was decent rhetoric and i don't know if there's any teeth to this but, you know, look, it's complicated. he can't -- i think politicians feel like it's political suicide to be talking about the environment. the time has come when we're in a planetary emergency here. i think he could be using the bully pulpit more here. >> last night he said for the sake of our children and future we must do more to combat climate change. we can choose to believe that superstorm sandy and the worst severe drought in decades and wildfires that some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence or we can all choose to believe in the overwhelming science before it's too late. what action do you think he should be taking >> well, that's great. ? but let's not drill in the arctic, which he was promoting. i think, you know, i think that he could be doing more for regulations with the environmen

and i do think the democrats and president obama got off pretty lightly so far. what is your position on this? i mean, at what stage does the drone activity cease to be legitimate targeting of terrorism and become a kind of glorified, very brutal, very lethal fishing expedition? >> well, it has to be done very carefully. very uniquely. you have to be 100% sure you've got the right person and you're not making a mistake. i agree with you completely that if this had been done by george bush or any other republican, we'd be talking about hearings before congress. we would have some people talking about impeachment. for the life of me, i can't figure out why george bush got so much heat for waterboarding three people, and president obama has killed scores of people. and i probably agree with the decisions that president obama made, so i'm not saying he shouldn't have made those decisions. and i can't say they weren't the right decisions, but i think those decisions would have been scrutinized very heavily. from the point of view of a terrorist, would you rather be wa

obama's going to win this easily. he was doing it from pure number crunching. >> the question is why obama won by such a margin. and i think the answer is that there has been a fundamental demographic shift in the united states. and i thought that it had surfaced in '08 because of a charismatic candidate. then i thought it would go back down again. and it did in '10. they didn't show up. but in '12 they showed up again in huge numbers. and 8 million whites stayed home. and i think the republican party has got to change in fundamental ways, otherwise we'll never win another election. >> here's -- okay. i agree with you. and i think many people agree with that. but you got turfed out of fox yesterday, which people are interpreting, along with sarah palin being turfed out, as a repudiation of that style of republican front person, if you like. what do you say to that? was that why fox let you go? >> no. fox -- >> and what does that mean for the party and your involvement with it at all? some people will say, we don't car
